Next case!
Proof?

It's no secret that the DNC has been running ops to take over GOP town hall meetings with their people, this one was no different.

It'll be packed.

No one is stopping Republicans from outnumbering liberals at town halls.

Whether he sides with them or not, the opposition is 1 party with a majority (~52%).

You want Bernie to break off to his own party and go against them, which essentially makes his party have about 25% or less. You're fighting a losing battle. Doesn't make any sense to do so. Bernie's playing smart, he's still independent, but he sits on the leadership council or whatever in the Senate and tries to make the party change and move more left. That's smarter, you're like asking for him to provoke a fillibuster with 25 senate seats.. laughable to say the least.

Not sure if it'll be packed, it is pretty last minute. DNC only announced his tour a day or 2 ago. But we'll see.

It doesn't have to make sense to you. You are arguing for a party of 90% as there is little difference in the party of Perez or the (R)'s.

It only takes one to filibuster. Nope, I will under no circumstance vote for an establishment (D).

Yep. At least he held one. My POS congressman, Trent Franks, is missing in inaction as usual. He is such a cowardly waste of fresh air.
